Merseyrail are the only regional TOC to have done anything similar, but
I'm not sure you are right about Southern, I think all their inner

What definition of "inner suburban" do you mean though? I *think* I've
seen
2+2 on some trains to both Epsom and Epsom Downs and location wise
they're
analagous to Shenfield, but I may be mistaken.


All their 455s are 2+3. It's possible that SN has run the occasional
Electrostar on Epsom trains.


Some of the Electrostars have a mix of 2+2 in the end cars, and 2+3 in the
intermediates, so what you see dependson where you happen to get on...
